He is Charismatic…he is a good entertainer, he deserves to win
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
The better singer won. Congrats Cook . Paula abdul sure look fine. I could rock her world like no one can.She’s one hot cookie.
Jared, why won’t you let me comment? Jared, I really loved you in your Subway commercials, and I applaud you for losing the weight! You are really looking good, and sexy!. I just want to add my comment about American Idol. I keep trying. I would like to congratulate David Cook. Geez.
Jared, I really loved you in your Subway commercials, and I applaud you for losing the weight!
Whoa.I didn’t know this is the same Jared?.Is he really?
god! i’m dissapointed
it was predictable, i dunno why but i felt it all alooong!
i don’t like cook, there’s something about him that makes me think that he’s a pompous jerkk!!
well, i still hope he’s going to do great, and that archuleta will do better :D
Jared, you ruined it for me! I’m happy he won though.
YAYYY!!
im so happpyyyyyy he won =]]
im from kansas city too
Yay!! I love him!!! :)
Its David A who sounds the same all the time..not saying that he’s not good. Anyway get over it, only one can win and its David C!!!
David Cook is the winner. Get over it David A fans. David A still has a great career ahead of him. Look at Clay who came in second.
iLY david cook! you deserve this.
David Cook deserved to win. David A is very overrated.
aww yay, big congrats to David C! I liked both and wouldn’t have mind whichever one won. They both have good promising futures ahead of them :)
david cook. i love youuuu. <3
I think it was nice of Simon to say that both the David’s were nice people. They both seem that way to me also. Even though they said poor David A’s Dad is a real monster.
I prefer David Archuleta… he’s the BEST!
WWWOOOOOOOOWWWW
HE WIN HE IS MY FAV
i don’t know why some people prefer archuleta when you can tell that cook has this pop star quality. you can tell the difference in the two guitar hero commercials.

I really like his music but he comes across as REALLY cocky
Smug, manipulative and a copy cat. ICK
I am never watching american idol ever again. David Archuleta got SO robbed!
David A has a much better voice. I will never buy anything Cook sings.
so sexy and has real pop quality i hope those stupid lacey, lindsay girls wont spoil it for him. he needs to make sure this doesnt get to his head and go for a cool girl like my other equally favorite idol carrie. i am hearing rumors with him being chace crawford lookalike well just saying jared please confirm does carrie like david cook
YAYY! the RiGHT DAViD W0N F0R SUREE!:)))
David C00k was just a better all-around signer,
I mean don’t get me wrong David A, was good too but
he didn’t have the potensial David C had.
PLUS i mean David cook’s music is much more rock and the type
of music people in this day adn age listen to, espeacially us teens
and come one David A, was like a miny me of Micheal Buble!
And who really wants to listen to that kind of music all day, unless
you just need a quiet tone to put you to sleep;P
And Davd Cook had a great sense of humor and WAY more
outgoing, unlike David A who was reserved and quiet and nervous when he wasn’t singing! And IM pretty sure his DAD wants him to be a star more than David A even does himself, which once again a
pushy controlling Dadager!
Anyways David Coook is awsome and I’ll pray for him and his family (bc. one of his brothers has brain cancer!) but he didn’t get my simpathy vote he got my vote bc he ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
best season so far ! i love him! he is the best !
He’s my favourite AI winner of all time.
He’s beautiful, even when he’s tired.
The right person won thank god!
Go Cook!
Did anyone have problems voting? My vote went to contestant #1 when I voted for #2 several times… somethings funny! I am not happy…
yeah.he is the best.;)
I’m glad that old Fish Lips didn’t win. We would have had to suffer through those ridiculously excruciating and interminable interviews that he attempts to do with that phony “aw shucks” demeanor. I’m sick of him and the teenyboppers who idolize that little girl.
****! I HATE HIM. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DAVID ARCHULETA TOO!
I’m so sad. BUUUAAA
Jeff Archuletta should have won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats to david cook
YYAAAYY!!!!! DC WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YA
FOR ONCE AMERICA MADE THE RIGHT DECISION ABOUT SOMETHING
GOOO DAVID COOK I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He deserved it! A huge fan and cannot wait for more to come from him!
i wanted david a to win=[ david cook sounded amazing on the radio this morning but ewww he needs to do something with his facial hair and comb his hair or something.
I’m so glad! He won!…. and I voted for the first time on AI that night….
But the truth is, it was either way, to be honest I felt both Davids were winners, they both earned their spot in the top two. If only they both could’ve won, because I think this was the best top 2 EVER.
Cook wins in the creativity/stage presence/musician department, Archie wins in the soulful/pure/vocals department. Archie had better vocals! But Cook did so much….he deserved to win.
im happy that he won! i screamed when he won i was like om gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
panicked-voted American Idol.
American Idol and the voters got it right. Go David Cook, you’re awesome!!!
:) Thank you D A V I D :) We all love you.
¦== http://www.PleasingVacations.com ==¦
Everything he sings sounds pretty much the same. He is to similar to chris daughtry and all the other rocker type singers that American Idol has. The other David had a naturally good voice and deserved it way more than this guy. David Cooks is sooo lame…he is just gonna produce crappy soft rock music
I am soooooo happy!!!
I dont like David Archuleta, he is BAD!!!!!
David Cook rocks!!!
YAY!! DC all the way!
DAYYUUUUMMMM BABY!!!!!
DC ♥♥♥
I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA, I wish he won.
But David Cook has been good trough out the hole season so for me they’re both winners!
archuleta should’ve won thats all i have to say
Big David won?!
****! I WANTED DAVID ARCHULETA TO WIN :(
Yes!!! The Best Person Won!!! He is a STAR!!!!!!!
AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA.you cook fans just wait.david archuleta is going to have a MUCH better career then cook.its going to be just like reubanstuuter/clay aiken, where the runner up was WAY more popular.did you guys know that on average the runner up is more famous then the actuall winner.
congrats to dc, but i still love david archuleta - favorite <3
This was a shoo in same with Yamaguchi in DWTS.
EWW! WHAT A BIG ******* HEAD…
ARCHULETA T.T
David Cook is amazing!!!
i wanted david archuleta to win… :(
Lets hope David Cook now gets a new hair cut. This one is so stupid. I hate the way it looks…does he think he’s Napoleon?
And David A sang so much better than David C. The voters must have been tone deaf.
david archuleta should be the winner!!! he was robbed!! cook sounds like any rocker…ughhh
DAVID COOK IS THE BEST *.*
I was so surprised when that little piece of kaka didn’t win. Yay for Cook!
Before the finals, several polls reported Cook as the overwhelming favorite to win the American Idol with a 70% favoring Cook, and 30% favoring Archie according to USAToday. Why? Given that Archuleta gave a STUNNING performance on all three songs during the finals night, why did Archie lose the crown? The stunning performance was not stunning enough to sway the loyal Cook fans to switch their votes to Archie.
A cute and adorable singer may have the most wonderful voice in the world, however he can only sing ballads well. And a rocker may take risks with all kinds of voice ranges which may result to not quite reaching the right pitch everytime he sings. However, he can sing rock, sing pop, sing classic, sing current songs very nicely while his studio versions of the songs are deemed flawless. As stated earlier, before the FINALS, 70% voted favorably for Cook to win the idol crown according to USAToday. What is this telling us???? People want to hear rock, pop, current music, new hits from a music artist. And only 30% can live with hearing ballads all day. I would be surprised if 70% would want to hear ballads but Archie stuck to ballads throughout the competition and when he wandered from the ballads, they flopped. Therefore, not all of the people are into ballads. Yes, Archie’s voice was wonderful, PERFECT, hair-raising, and makes you cry, however 70% of the people do not feel like crying over ballad songs. They want to rock and feel happy, be current, fall in love with a new rendition, with a new tune and apparently Cook had accomplished that for them.
Cook is a brilliant artist! He made his fans fall in love with his new renditions, new tunes, songs from bands that an ordinary person has never heard of before. This would explain why people would await his performance each week because they were eager to hear which song he was going to perform and if the performance will be a hit for them. Cook covered two songs at the finals that most people have never heard of before. Of course, with the short amount of time to practice new renditions, his performances were not perfect. The judges crucified Cook. But his fans were forgiving because when they played the videos again and again in you tube, they have grown to love Dream Big and declared it as the best of the night performance. The song from Collective Soul, “The World I Know” was a new-found discovery for most of the listeners and turned out to be a great song for the fans.
Therefore, in the end… in the minds of the 56% of the voters, Cook emerges as their BRILLIANT American Idol.
yay david !
he deserves it (:
AH.
i love him!____<
But, David Cook is no where NEAR Daughtry
David has more rock edgeness to it.
